The center of the development will be the central courtyard "Ku'lturhof", which should become the heart of the district and an outdoor meeting place for the community. Around it will be located nine buildings, including the existing House of Agrippina, which is included in the monuments of cultural heritage.

The building will be preserved and integrated into the complex. The architects plan to add a new wooden extension that will open onto a new courtyard and extend the rear of Agrippina's house. The team also proposes a public garden on the roof of the historic building.

The project also includes a new passageway to connect Ku'damm with the surrounding area, improving accessibility and inclusiveness.

The design of the project's facades draws inspiration from the surrounding unique buildings, combining their color scheme, openness and rhythm. The use of durable and patinated materials ensures that the urban facade will retain its warm and attractive character.
Integrated outdoor spaces and deep relief design within each building create a sense of connection with the streetscape, allowing residents to feel part of the urban environment.
